Competitive events such as Highland Dancing, Solo Bagpiping and Drumming and Heavy Events (stone put, hammer throw, weight for height, and the famous caber toss) start off the morning! This year our Festival precedes the Canadian National Highland Dance Competition commencing July 8th so the “best of the best” dancers will be on the Penticton dance stages!
Watch Opening Ceremonies at 12:30 pm, Pipe Band Competitions, and the Entertainment Stage fills the afternoon.
